-----------------------------------------------------------------

This  is  a  demo copy of the  soon-to-come  ProTracker  ST  from 
Pandaal Marketing. The demo version pretty much outlines what the 
final version will include.  However,  a few things may change in 
the final release of the program.

To  play a demo song,  click the 'DISK' button on the main  menu. 
This will bring up the DISK menu. Click the 'LOAD MODULE' button. 
The fileselector should now appear on your screen.  Select one of 
the  .MOD  files.  The module will now be  loaded.  Back  in  the 
program,  press  Esc or click 'EXIT'.  Now click 'PLAY' or  press 
CapsLock to start playing the song.

The  rest you'll have to figure out yourselves...  To  exit  Pro-
Tracker  ST,  click  the top left corner of the screen  or  press 
Alt+Q.

There are a few bugs in the demo version.  These have on  purpose 
not been removed. They're all gone in the final release ;-)

A few things that the final release of the program *will* feature 
are:

 - Realtime volume and pitch bending
 - Volume slide/Arpeggio/Vibrato/Portamento
 - 12.5 and 25 (!) kHz playback frequency (STE)
 - 12.2 and 16.3 kHz playback frequency (ST)
 - 64KB sample buffer
 - Flexible editor with powerful (!) cut and paste operations
 - Realtime recording/editing
 - Polyphonic Midi support with realtime recording and touch control
 - Graphical easy to use sampleeditor software
     (cut/paste/reverse/fade/boost/echo/mix) and
     sampler with support for the most used samplers
 - Edit up to 32 songs simultaneously

ProTracker  ST  will run on any Atari ST/Mega/STE/TT computer  with  a 
colour monitor in low resolution.

Also enclosed with ProTracker ST are replay sources that allow you  to 
use the music in your own programs.

ProTracker ST is the product of more than one year of hard work.  When 
we started writing ProTracker ST,  we had not expected it to take this 
much time to finish it off,  but as time went by it kind of got out of 
hand and grew a lot more complex than we had expected. The result is a 
program that excels in almost every way. Was it worth it? With regards 
to the program,  yes.  With regards to our economy,  I doubt it. *You* 
are  the  ones to decide whether or not we should  continue  to  write 
quality software for the ST.
